+ <h2>Specializing Provenance Ontology for Domain-specific Provenance Applications</h2>
+ <p>
+ The Provenance Ontology is conceived as a reference ontology that can be extended by various domain-specific applications to model the required set of provenance terms. The Provenance Ontology classes and properties can be specialized using the following two RDFS properties:
+ <ul>
+ <li>rdfs:subClassOf: The property rdfs:subClassOf is an instance of rdf:Property that is used to state that all the instances of one class are instances of another. [RDFS-Ref]</li>
+ <li>rdfs:subPropertyOf: "A rdfs:subPropertyOf axiom defines that the property is a subproperty of some other property." [OWL-Ref]</li>
+ </ul>
